37:52Now PlayingDFL Members of the Frontline Worker Pay Working Group, joined by essential workers in grocery, janitorial and nursing, outlined a proposal Wednesday, October 6, for allocating $250 million in bonus payments to those who continued to go to work during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Representative Cedrick Frazier, DFL-New Hope, said that the plan would allow for a minimum disbursement of $375 in tax-free hero pay to anyone who qualifies for the award. The proposal recognizes workers in retail, food service, manufacturing, social services, the courts as well as health-related fields.
In contrast, the GOP working group members proposed $1200 in tax-free bonuses to workers in health care, long-term care, emergency services and corrections. The competing proposals come one month after the working group’s recommendation was due to legislative leaders.
